Purchased this pretty gal in a bulk deal of 90% that consisted mostly of Walkers, the majority being '30s and '40s dates, so I wasn't really expecting to find any better dates.

LOL...I always offer my opinion before reading everyone else's thoughts and thought the same after I saw everyone else's opinions. I don't do the series and use the GTG threads as a learning tool for myself, seeing how I do just shooting from the cuff.
I was apparently way off this time. Lucky for you I don't work at PCGS.

Nice melt pick-up btw!!
Here's a VF25 from ATS, albeit in a somewhat older holder:
Had not seen a decent mid-grade circulated example until I ran into that one, and really none since. Glad I was able to add that to my collection!
Oh, and I think that 28-S in the OP's picture is a F-15 all day long. A very nice pickup!

Edited to add: Just noticed this thread was super old, haha. Oh well...
<< <i>Nice coin, would slot well into my Walking Libs from junk silver Dansco, a nice upgrade over the the current example;
And yes, all came from junk silver, even the '34.
You should definitely start one if you haven't yet!
EDIT: Actually that '23-S came from DennisH as a gift for helping him out with something. >>
These are fun sets! I did a few sets from Indian cents through Peace dollars using the old Whitman bound albums as the holders. Sadly, I needed to sell them all to pay for college ... but the sets were a blast to put together! I even "cherried" a 3-legged Buffalo nickel!
